Pinnacle Entertainment Group has just announced that they are releasing a new Savage Setting (read it here)
Details are scant right now, but what we do know is that it will be setup as a Kickstarter campaign.
The only hint that has been released thus far is this...
Quote: The setting is something old with something new, where something dead can sing the blues…
My money is on the long-awaited Savage Worlds Edition of Deadlands: Hell on Earth.
More details to come next week, but more hints are to be revealed on the Pinnacle Facebook Page
Agree with my guess? Got something else? Let's hear it!

First, off, we have two more Power Profiles for Mutants & Masterminds (3rd Edition) for you.
First off, we have one that revolves around the manipulation of air.
Green Ronin wrote: Power Profile: Air Powers
From the unleashed power of a hurricane wind or destructive tornado to drawing the breath from your target's lungs, Air Powers command the life-giving atmosphere all around us. Whip up wind blasts and shields to protect you from attack. Fly on the wings of the wind, and let it carry your words across great distances as you snuff out fires and the consciousness of your foes just as easily. This product is for Mutants & Masterminds Third Edition.
Next up, we have a profile based on kinetic powers.
Green Ronin wrote:
Power Profile: Kinetic Powers
Want powers that have some impact? Kinetic Powers have a lot of impact, enough to blast through steel and stone, and they can take a lot of impact, too, blocking bullets, blasts, and explosions. From telekinesis to projected force field and kinetic blasts, the powers in this profile can put things into motion or stop them in their tracks. This product is for Mutants & Masterminds Third Edition.
Of course both of these can be picked up for $.99 through the Green Ronin store.
They've released an AGE Explorations supplement.
Green Ronin wrote:
AGE Explorations are short, experimental products for the Adventure Game Engine (AGE) that expand the rules in different directions. Each entry in the series presents new game mechanics, systems, or other content to help change the way you play. Add just the Explorations products you want to your AGE campaign to get the style of play you're after. Change your game with AGE Explorations!
Gifts of the Gods
MonkPaladins and priests, shamans and monks, the pious and the revered from virtually any faith you can imagine, they all gain new options and potency in your AGE-powered campaign when you add in this product's centerpiece: the Divine Gift talent.
Acclaimed game designer, Steve Kenson, crafted the Divine Gift talent to add divine powers to any character class in the Adventure Game Engine, deepening your world's lore and your players' options for leveling up along the way. This material, originally published in Kobold Quarterly magazine, has been revised and expanded with two new backgrounds suitable for characters with religious roots. Whether your character is a devotee of Love or War, a practitioner of Law or Chaos, or a servant of Fate, this kit offers ways to demonstrate the power of her faith.
About AGE
The Adventure Game Engine (AGE) is the system that powers Green Ronin's Dragon Age RPG. AGE branded products are fully compatible with Dragon Age, but can be used in many different settings.
You can purchase this item for $1.50 here.
The last news from Green Ronin regarding products would be the announcement that this is the last week for their A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying pre-order special. You can pick up the PDF for only $5 with a pre-order of the physical book. Read more about it.
Lastly, we have the most recent Round Table interviews. The first is an article by Steve Kenson about his first experience with mutants, a la Gamma World. Here's the full article.
The second is an article by Jon Leitheusser talking about his tabletop gaming experiences. Check this one out here!

Yeah, wow. Sorry again. Things have been a whirlwind of crazy in this reporter's life for the past month or so. Anyway, if you want to see several cool Green Ronin updates, keep reading!
Firstly, there are two new Power Profiles for Mutants & Masterminds (3rd Edition).
The first released was a double-sized Power Profile, revolving around the use of magic.
Green Ronin wrote:
Power Profile: Magic Powers
By the Scarlet Shades of Sirrion! In this special double-sized Power Profile, peer into the secrets of the arcane arts with a catalog of spells and occult entities based on the material from the Book of Magic sourcebook. Magic Powers has everything you need to outfit mystic heroes and villains with their amazing powers: more than 80 different spells and invocations!
Being double-sized, this profile costs $1.99, which is still a fair price by any definition and can be picked up here.
The next Power Profile released revolves around the use of illusions.
Green Ronin wrote:
Power Profile: Illusion Powers
There is more to these powers than meets the eye. Who needs control over forces or matter when you can control perception itself? With Illusion Powers, make yourself unseen and unheard, or create a false image for your foes to waste their attacks upon. Twist the environment to appear any way that you want, and allow your foes to defeat themselves once they can no longer trust what they see, hear, or feel. Nothing is what it seems with the power of illusion! This product is for Mutants & Masterminds Third Edition.
This profile can be purchased, as usual, for $.99 through the Green Ronin Store page.
Green Ronin also released a couple of other PDFs. First is "DLC" for their Dragon Age RPG. It goes into detail on that horrifying beast, the wyvern.
Green Ronin wrote:
Infamous for ferocity, the wyverns of Thedas are legendary to commoner and king alike. Bring these fearsome creatures from the "Mark of the Assassin" video-game DLC to your Dragon Age tabletop RPG campaign with this PDF containing complete statistics, game-world lore, and information on the notorious and rare hallucinogenic liquor concocted from wyvern venom. The newest entry in the Dragon Age RPG DLC series is here!
Like the Power Profiles, this supplemental PDF can be purchased for $.99 through its Green Ronin store page.
An AGE Battle & Loot PDF has come out, a supplement to any AGE-based fantasy campaign (specifically mentioned, of course, is Dragon Age).
Green Ronin wrote:
Battle & Loot is a series of PDFs for GMs using the Adventure Game Engine (AGE). Each entry includes new monsters, treasures, and story ideas that are easily adaptable to any fantasy setting. A Battle & Loot PDF is a toolkit you can use to build anything from a single encounter to a collection of scenes totaling a whole adventure. Remix the game stats, themes, and motifs to suit your home campaign, wherever it might be set.
Tomb of the Seeress is the first of the Battle & Loot PDF series. It is built around the resting place of an ancient sphinx slain by mighty heroes in ages past. Tomb of the Seeress includes three new monsters, associated treasure tables, and new magic items and rewards. Perfect for your AGE fantasy campaign!
About AGE
The Adventure Game Engine (AGE) is the system that powers Green Ronin's Dragon Age RPG. AGE branded products are fully compatible with Dragon Age, but can be used in many different settings.
This PDF runs $1.50 at its Green Ronin store page.
And the last update to get us all caught up with Green Ronin is the latest round table. This time its with Marc Schmalz, on the subject of ePublishing.
If that's a topic that appeals to you (as I'm sure it does to many of us, especially with the recent influx of PDFs), the entire article can be found here.
